Abstract

A computerized method of selecting and displaying listing information relating to real estate property, which establishes a searchable database of information pertaining to real property listings, provides an interface for a user to select and enter search criteria, displays a total number of listings meeting the search criteria as the user makes and changes search criteria selections, executes a search according to the search criteria, and allows the user to display some of the listings meeting the search criteria.

displaying a numerical total of the number of listings meeting said search criteria as the user makes and changes search criteria selections;

executing a search according to said search criteria; and

allowing the user to display at least some of said listings meeting said search criteria.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said interface includes a geographical map, one of said search criteria being a user-sizable area-of-interest, said numerical total changing in real-time to reflect listings encompassed therein as said area is changed by said user subsequent to execution of said initial search.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said property listings are rental properties.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein said search criteria include location relative to a selected point, rental fee, room(s), bathrooms and utilities, and wherein said numerical total is changeable in real-time as a search criterion may be changed by the user.
